SERVICES

Finding the Plan for Your Child

We understand just how hard it can be to see your child struggling with communication. This is why we offer a variety of services and flexible models of care so that your child gets exactly what they need for success.

Child-led, neurodiversity-affirming, and data-backed, we have a plan to help your child and your family.

Speech language pathology is a big field. Talk Time specializes in helping children build skills in a variety of areas including articulation, receptive language, expressive language, social language, fluency, reading and written language, self-advocacy, executive functioning, and higher level language.

We also work with children with sensory-based feeding disorders and children experiencing communication challenges secondary to autism, ADHD, anxiety, Down's syndrome.

ENROLLMENT PROCESS

Initial Intake

To start, we will ask you some questions to find out a little about your child and how we can help. We look to see if your child has had any evaluations or therapy before to see where to start. (Prefer to have a call instead of doing this over email? ... we can do that, too!)

Intake Forms

Fill out our intake forms on our online portal. These forms give us more specific information about your child's communication skills -- their strengths, their interests, and your concerns.

Determination

If your child has had a recent evaluation by a speech pathologist, you can upload that to our portal to begin. If not, we will schedule an evaluation with one of our clinicians.

Testing

Our clinician will evaluate your child in any and all areas of need. Our speech language evaluations may include receptive language, expressive language, articulation, fluency, social language, play skills, and much more. Our feeding evaluations will include a family interview and assessment during mealtime.

Report & Recommendations

The clinician will write a report using both qualitative and quantitative results from the assessment as well as recommendations to support communication development. This can be shared with providers including your pediatrician, teachers, and other caregivers.

Design Treatment Plan

If your child qualifies for therapy, your clinician will create objectives for your child's first treatment period (approximately 3 months).

Discuss Results

After an evaluation, your clinician will discuss the results of the assessment in detail with you over the phone or zoom so you understand everything and feel confident about how to support your child at home.

Travel

Our clinicians at Talk Time offer travel visits -- in-home or in-school. This is a great option that allows therapists to build therapy around daily routines and see your child in their typical environment.

Clinic

Come to our Medford home clinic space or our brand new clinic location in Arlington Center. A clinic rooms are designed for therapy, with spaces for play and learning.

Virtual

Teletherapy became a huge part of our life during the pandemic, and we learned that for some children, this is not only an effective method of therapy, but it provides additional benefits around service delivery.

Meet-Up

We also offer therapy at community-based locations like libraries or, if weather permits, at local playgrounds. This is just one way we can be flexible around location and work with your child's needs.

TESTIMONIALS

BIN W

... I am an atheist and don't believe there's magic in the world, but from interaction with Alessandra and Nicole since 2019, I believe people can create miracle by using their professional knowledge creatively and unremittingly. I have to say, my [daughter] is lucky to meet Alessandra and Nicole. And I strongly recommend Talk Time SLP service

SARAH D

Ms. Nicole has worked with both of our kids, and we could not be more thrilled to have found someone so skilled at what she does but also encouraged our kids to be excited to see her each week. She was very intuitive and meticulous about what was and wasn't working for them, and she would try new techniques or approaches if they needed them. We could not be more pleased to see our kids flourish and speak

confidently to others.

AMY M

We are fans of TalkTime because of Nicole! Nicole has been coming to our home for speech therapy for almost 3 years. She is intuitive and always thinking of how to creatively engage and help my daughter to develop, and my daughter looks forward to her weekly visits!
